THE ATTORNEY Wasn't THERE.

Il is understood that the attorney gen
ersl of Kansas and the prohibItlonis;s of
that state are feeling much regret St the
fact that when the liquor case of the State
Us. Diebold and HAHN. which involves the
constltuuonalily OF the Kansas prohibition
law came up FOR hearing IL
the United States supreme court on the
first day Of the present term. there was no
argument 10 the states behalf. The fail
ure Of the attorney general to appear and
argue the case orally Is said TO have been
due 10 some Misrepresentation with regard
10 the day for which the case was assigned
In order that the questions
involved IN that case may not
u be decided until the court shall have
heard oral argument In support of the
Kansas law, Samuel ". Prckard, Of Chi
csgo, will endesyoI, tomorrow, to get the
court to entertsin motion to advance two
similar cases from Iowa, and one from
Georgia, representing the same questions.
and 20 postpone the decision Of the D!ebold
and Hszelln case until oral arguments shall
have been heard In the former.

 Manufacturers complain that the African rubbers now received do not yield, when strained and cleaned, more than thipty to 6fty-fve per cent pure rubber gum, owing to the natives adulterating with sawdust, bark dust, etc., to overcome the inconvenient stickiness of the juice.
 The singular fact is demonstrated that, while the most rapid cannon shots scarcely attain velocity of 600 meters second-over 300 miles per hour-meteorites are known to penetrate the air with a velocity of 4O,OO0 or even 60, 900 meters per second, a velocity which raises the air at once to temperature of 900 degs. to 5000 degs.

WHERE did all the gamins come froms' asked New Yorker, as he descended the stairs of the DEMOCRAT office last evening. There were gathered there, on stair and lobby, inside doors and out, hundreds of boys of all sorts and conditions waiting for the issue of our first number and indulging in the pranks and pleasantries of boy hood. Why" added our New York friend, You could not find a more repre- sentative assemblage of the urchin class within the precincts of Five Points or the region of Baxter street." When informed that these boys were not of the 'sstreeto class, that they were the sons-in some in- stances the orphans- poor but honest par ents, and that their gathering then and there was with the object of humbly aiding in the expenses of home, the New York gentle man took all he had said or intended to say, back and had words of praise only for the pluck and industry of the Waterbury boy.

JOHN J. BREsLIN who died in New York little more than a week ago, has had tri- bute paid to his memory seldom accorded to prominent or patriotic men departed. But then, John Breslin was man of men,
 He was principal in the escape of James Stephens from Richmond prison, Dublin. more than twenty years ago and subse- quently was director of the expedition for the successful release of the Fenian con victs in Australia. His silent and secret work in the cause of Ireland, is beyond all praise, as it is beyond the wisdom of pub ication. He died at an early age not a rich man by any means. He leaves wife and orphans to the generous care of Irish men. In New York a movement under high auspices has been set on foot for a fund for the family. The cities and town ships of the whole Union will follow suit, and we hope to see Connecticut in the van at any rate Waterbury must do it's duty

TEA TABLE TALK.

Plain silk, black silks especially, are h high favor.
 Woolen crochet trimmings, resembling rich appliques, are used upon cloth gowns
 Electric blue and moss green are ingeni- ously blended in some of the new trim mings.
 A favorite design for braiding bodice is In V shape back and front, widening into yoke as it reaches the shoulders.
 Bonnet strings are now secured with visible pins, the head being set with single pearl, topaz, garnet, amethyst or other stone.
 Cut steel ornaments are in vogue again, and the steel passementeries are among the most beautiful of the seasons trimmings.
 Elegant wraps for evening wear are made of white cloth having velvet like finish, and braided all over with gold cord in stripes.
 Ostrich feather boas are tasteful novelty. They are made of feathers in all the natural shades, or all in black, or black and white together.
 Colored lace balayeuses upon evening dresses are new. They keep clean longer shan white, but are not so fresh and dainty when new.
 A novelty in bracelets is composed of naf- row ribbons of gold, which are tied in 6 iouble bow knot for clasp, which is set with pearls
 Some of the newest tea gowns have im- mense angel sleeves, which are put on with .panlettes at the shoulders, and fall like huge 1 wings to the floor. l Gimp, the veritable article of dozen years ago, has returned to us. Various sizes of ine cord are utilized, and the patterns are very finely wrought. l Walking gloves of Swedish kid or finely dressed dogskin are worn with promenade costumes. These come in most of the cloth shades to match the toilet
 Bretelles are a feature of many of the new costumes, and very elaborate epaulettes are sometimes attached to trimmings for the front of a bodice, tq be put on as braces.
 Except in jet, beads are largely giving place in dress trimmings to metallic threads, which are used for appiques or other ern- broideries, either alone or mixed with cord.
 Shot stockings are shown to wear with evening gowns. Some of these have open work stripes in relief, which run from the foot to the ankle, then cross the leg hori 1 1Ontal1y

WORK AND WAGES.

We published last evening an abstract of report just issued by the Commissioners of Labor Statistics, of this state, giving tables furnished by forty-six families of their respective occupations, the number in family, the wages earned, the cost of living and so forth; and the suggestive re- suit summed-up is that the expenses of the forty-six families exceeded the income from wages in the month of October by $285. The Commissioner has issued circulars inviting xt55e filing up of like returns by the labor Ing classes generally. promising them that the information shall be regarded as priv ate. Why private, we cannot understand if the object be for the public good
 But what good is this Bureau of statistics 50 far as the Labor interests is concerned? Can any good come out of the Republican Nazaretha Is it intended to make the re- turns furnished by workingmen the basis of legislation for workingmens relief or is it merely designed to collect and collate interesting facts and figures for the delec- tation of ireside philanthropists making by side effort the Laborer to parade his wrongs "as beggars hawk their sores."
 If Republicanism feel disposed to take a leaf out of the book of Democratic sym pathy for the poor man it shall have all the aid that we can give. If abjuring the pol icy and practice that marked it's long reign in National government and adopting the means and methods of the party of the people, it now comes to recognize that while the primal curse of mans transgres- sion is to be enforced, it's conditions shall be fulfilled, all our efforts will be in en- couragement. God decreed that in the sweat of his face man should eat bread. Republican monopolists exacted that while the sweat should exude and trickle, the bread should be an unknown or insufficient quantity And if, we repeat, the underlying design of the State Commissioner of Labor Statis- tics, in appealing for information in detail, be the initiative of legisla. ton for benefit of the laborer, we shall be prepared to aid; to condone all the records of robbery and recklessness of quarter o1 8 cantury's rule, and welcome the spirit that heralds the poor mans salvation from the selfshness of their natural enemy the capitalist. But if the compilation aimed at be simply for the purpose of gratifying the curiosity of dilletanti statesmen object good and deserving in itself-we set not why the laborer should be called upon z to expose the poverty of his home and the ahumiliatiou of his family. He suffer- Sn6nkh, Heaven knowB, In the sad 1eHs1.

THE New York Star says: "Dr McGlynn created a sensation among the anti-pover- tyites by preaching religion instead of politics at their meeting on Sunday even !ng." Why should surprise be expressed that the reverend gentleman should have come to recognition of the obligations of his faith and fold, instead of, in access of en- thusiasm for the poor, following the lead of false teachers and theorists. It is one of our most cherished desires to see or hear of, Dr McGlynn preaching religion again in his legitimate sphere and before truly sympathetic congregations. The platform of Henry George was no place for the learned and jealous divine

OUR FIRST NUMBER.

The EVENING DEMOCRAT in it's initial number fulfilled all the anticipative calculations we had made: primarily, our own satisfaction at the appearance it pre- sented; secondarily, and in not less degree, the welcome accorded to it by all classes of our citizens. Our own pride was sub served, the satisfaction of our patron se- cured; and next will come that general sup port which is the attendant of merit and the accompaniment of worth. Of course for our interests we shall labor to realize our profession; but in a higher degree for the advancement of our party and the further ance of its principles, our work shall have a nobler aim than personal considera- tion.
 We are not repeating prospectus, but only expressing joy at an accomplishment It has been distinguishing feature of new journalistic enterprises to make ap- ology for shortcomings: the difficulties sur rounding, a first number, the incomplete ness of mechanical arrangements, and all incidental disappointments conjured up to make excuse. We have no apologies to make on these heads. There were diff faculties, to be sure but they were surmounted without public parade; there were incidental disappointments but will power and an earnest practical work over came them: thus, there was no incomplete ness to account for, and no avoidance of an assigned duty for which to make apology.
 We repeat our expressions of pride ill our first number. Last night the whole city rang with the praises of our principles and our policy, our means and our meth ods. Some were surprised at our modern tion, considering that our proclaimed mis- sion was pronounced party one. Others had "not expected it, knowing the long provocatives to strength of tone and ex- precision. On every hand there was aston ishment and at every side praise. When they all know us better there will be no wor 4 at the indications we have given of condIeting the DEMOCRAT on gentlemanly principles; and with the better knowledge will come, we hope, a more general appre- citation and more cordial support.
 While this approval of our first number is generous and general-all classes and creeds and parties uniting in the express sion thereof-there is class and party from which we hope higher things than senti, mental praise. We have entered the field of Democratic work; and the party fol which we labor must sustain us in the bur. den and heat of the day; we have espoused the cause of Labor and the toilers must help on those who toll with and for them we are in the fight for the common inter ests of common nation, and citizens of al parties may, without surrender of consist ency, aid us in the conflict.
 And now, and hereafter, for the earnest performance of the responsible duty w have undertaken.
